Walking the course.....


I thought this was a great picture! Sara, Jenn (our trainer) and I went to Aiken, SC. for a big horse show. The courses are very difficult to remember but if you "walk" it ahead of time, it's much easier to remember. Sara had a series of 14 jumps to memerize and complete them within a certain timeframe. Well, she remembered her course (Yeahh - what an accomplishment) but was outside of her time limit. Not a big deal to us, because the accomplishment of just remembering her course was huge for Sara.
In the picture you see Sara (in uniform) - Jenn in Red Hat and a "seasoned" competitor in the white hat. He was a great help. This show was especially great for us, because Badger did not refuse one jump, did not knock one jump down and Sara remembered all of her courses. We came home ribbonless, but for us we won the world because of all 3 accomplishments! Way to go girls!!!
